I realized last night that I can’t relax without the sound of the baby monitor. I decided to go to bed early since I had a particularly rough night of sleep at my parents’ on saturday night (or rather, Mac had a rough night of sleep and my ability to sleep is directly tied to his ability to sleep). As I was settling in bed to do a little reading, I found that I couldn’t truly relax until the baby monitor was turned on. Despite the fact that I was trying to sack out early and leave any Mac troubles to The Husband, I still couldn’t settle down without the comforting sounds of the monitor.
It turns out I’ve come to rely on the soft whoosh of Mac’s sound machine and his soft whines as he repositions himself in his sleep to relax me.
I sort of hated that baby monitor in the early days, but now it seems I have a much harder time without it.
Soooo it’s totally cool if I insist on him having a baby monitor in his room until he’s 18, right?
